Pricing of Darts

The big consideration that most people will be making when considering how much to spend on darts is what is their goal?  If the goal of the shooter is to learn the game and determine if they want to shoot on a regular basis, then I would expect that shooter to pick up a $20 set at their local sporting goods store and go out to shoot.  I had a friend from work that we needed to substitute on our winter dart team.  He proceeded to borrow a spare set of darts from one of our regulars and shoot for the evening.  He found that he really enjoyed the game and at our next tournament he spent $40 on a decent set of 80% tungsten darts and discovered a long-term love for the game.  He went on to shoot on our summer team and has been shooting ever since.  However, if you already are an experienced shooter you may have more concern for cost over life of the darts.  Myself, I spent $80 on a good set of Bottleson’s 90% Tungsten and they have lasted four years and counting, showing no signs of wear.  So far, they have cost me $20 a year, and I expect that cost to continue shrinking. 

50-70% Tungsten - will usually cost less than $40 and will be sold at larger chain stores and sporting goods stores.  You really have to watch out for cheaper, mass produced imports in this category.  These will be very common, but not the best darts for the long haul.

80% Tungsten – will usually cost $20-$50 and I would consider these the most common darts sold to league players.  Many of the players in our lower conferences (newer, inexperienced, shooters) use these darts.  You can find these online, vendors at dart tournaments, and occasionally at a sporting goods store with a larger selection of dart supplies. 

90% Tungsten – will usually cost $50-$100 and can be found online from numerous retailers.  These darts are most common with guys in the league that I would consider regulars.  They have worked on their game some and have slipped into a pretty consistent way of shooting.  There are numerous manufacturers to choose from with a wide variety of models, this is where an individuals feel will come into play.  You really need to pick a few of these up and see what is the most comfortable for you.

95-98% Tungsten – will usually cost more than $100 to purchase, not running more than $200 on a consistent basis.  These darts will be extremely thin and if you have real potential for developing your game into an elite shooter I recommend these.  When I say elite shooter, which means local for your area also, not just the professionals.  If I could find the time to shoot every night to really work on my game, then I would definitely consider investing in these darts, because they will really help with groupings of the darts.
